"I'm a composer based in Liverpool and, like most of my generation, I come from a varied musical background and prefer to experience music regardless of boundaries or genres. I like music that includes opposites: consonance and dissonance, chaos and order, seriousness and stupidity, new and old - sometimes switching from one to the other and sometimes both at the same time. This is because that

I'm a composer based in Liverpool and, like most of my generation, I come from a varied musical background and prefer to experience music regardless of boundaries or genres. I like music that includes opposites: consonance and dissonance, chaos and order, seriousness and stupidity, new and old - sometimes switching from one to the other and sometimes both at the same time. This is because thatÕs how I feel about life - there are very few things I know for sure, and I often feel like I believe contradictory ideas = Liam Carey (accidentalmusic.com

Wiki says of this song: _On 3 January 1967, the Gibb brothers, along with their parents and Byrne, traveled from Australia to England on the ship Fairsky, reaching Southampton on 6 February.

He is sharing a photo of his wife with a colleague (_Mr. Jones_) while they hopelessly wait to be rescued. According to the liner notes for the box set Tales from the Brothers Gibb (1990), the song was inspired by the October 1966 Aberfan disaster in Wales. According to Robin, there actually had been a mining disaster in New York in 1939, but not in 1941, and he thought _New York_ sounded more _glamorous._ The song made it onto Tom Robbins radio show just 6 mos after their voyage.

"Tom Robbin's radio show breaks are generally quite lengthy. The b'cast is about 3 hours total (3 hrs, 9 mins actually, true to counter-culture form). His commentary seems often directed at the University of Washington students -- the youth experimenting with drugs and generally trying to find their way. He's opinionated -- about use of drugs, the police, media, sex. His voice, sounding from the annals of the forgotten, resound today on the occasion of his death at age 92, at home in LaConnor, WA.

"Tom seems to have held a life-long mistrust (skepticism) for police and the _establishment_. He sounds the same themes and critiques in later conversations and interviews. I was first exposed to Robbins when I was in my late teens. His irreverence, his fantastical imagination, especially in building characters (traces of David Foster Wallace) and the queer freedoms laced into the way his characters carried on, related to one another, was captivating. Something resonated in my youth-spirit...met and matched. "

Since 1978, Jandek has independently released over 120 albums while granting an interview extremely rarely and providing no biographical information, releasing on a self-made label, _Corwood Industries_.

According to Youtube notes: The Hako" (1922), a 20 min string quartet, was FarwellÕs first work inspired by Native American themes since he ran the ÒIndianistÓ press, Wa-Wan.

A bit on Farwell from Matt Marble's site (click link)....Child education activist Sarah Farwell was a relative of Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson, a Vedantic student of Swami Saradananda, and an admirer of Theosophy and New Thought philosophy. Her son, Arthur Farwell was steeped in this visionary atmosphere as a child, and would embrace it for the remainder of his life. While earning his BA in Electrical Engineering at MIT, Farwell also gave horoscopic readings to his classmates. He would go on to experience numerous visions and dreams that would influence his life, and it was a visionary experience performing Schubert that called Farwell to become a composer.
